OLD MAN JACOBS STARTS FOR THE WOODS
THAT was enough and they did pitch in.
Jansen's family had such a New Years
dinner as they never had before, and the
widow and orphans that were to have no
reminder from Jansen's house had no such
treat, after all, as came from his house that
day, for Mrs Jansen was famous cook
"Old man Jacobs did not come home
that night, nor the next day, nor the next
night, and then his wife began to feel
alarmed; for was he not her husband and
the father of her children So she prevailed
upon party Of neighbors to go in search of
him, much against their will. -Four miles
back in the woods they found him. Jansen
had doubted there being any power that
could keep him from returning home to eat
the dinner he had boosted no widow or or
phan should TASTE but there had been one:
and as he had vowed that he would sooner
be caught in bear trap than chop wood
for his unfortunate neghbors, his choice had
been given him-Jansen was found close
prisoner in one of his bear pens. He had
gone to 1t to arrange it for the night and
while inside the log enclosure in some way
had sprung the fall, and down came the
heavy door, which could only be opened
from the outside, and Jansens visions OF
New Years good things vanished. When
taken out he was nearly dead from cold and
munger. he was brought safely around
again, however, but be was not the Jansen
jacobs of old. The lesson of that New
Years day had been accepted by him as a
special Providence, and the poor never had
better friend than he was ever after. and
he was a modal man in his family to the
day of his death.

AT OLD SOILS TAVERN.

RECOLLECTION OF BAcKwooDs NEW
YEAR EVE.
"This has been bout the snappiest day
we've had in month, an yit tn hain't
been 'nough frost in it to make barefooted
boy curl his toes
Old Sol, the landlord, was disguised. The
Oldest inhabitant of the Ridge could not re-
member such a spell of unreasonable weather
as they had had ever since the winter
opened. There had been warm weather,
and soggy weather, and wet weather, and
everybody had the blues. It was New
Year eve. The hickory logs snapped in the
big, old fashioned fireplace, and kettle
sang CHEEKY song as it wreathed itself in
vapor that suggested something hot and
savory by and bye; but in spite of that
there was anything but cheerfulness STIR
ring the usual collection of loungers, who
sat in the glare of the fire and among the
dancing shadows Of the low-ceilinged old
barroom. The weather had been such
that venison wouldn't Freeze and it was
hanging up all around the Ridge and almost
spelling. This in itself was enough to put
the average dweller in the bailiwick of
Soils Ridge in the worst of humor, and the
feeling In the community was probably ex-
cellei1tly represented at the tavern by the
crotchety and contrary Old Settler, and
the equally irascible and obstinate Squire,
two ancient landmarks of the Ridge, who

popularity in the community wasn't great;
but that did not disturb him in the least.
lone season there had been a terrible
flood in the streams, and a great deal OF
lumber was carried away. Several mill
hands were drowned in trying to save
property. They all left large families desti-
tute. When the holidays come around
some of the folks thought it would be
good thing to make up a wagon load OF
things and distribute them on New Years
day among those poor families, as other
wise their chances of beginning the new year
with anything to eat would be decidedly
slender. Besides that, almost every man
in the settlement volunteered to chop wood
for two hours on New Years day for the
benefit of the families The committee
was certain that mean as he was, Jansen
Jacobs would do little something in case
like this When asked if he would give a
turkey, or piece of venison, or anything
he pl-ased, he said:
Wall, I've got some turkeys, an I've
got some ven son, an I've got some bar
meat An I've got plenty on 'en, too.
An I'm agoin ter keep 'em. If anybody

New Years morning Jansen started for
the woods as usual He told his wife he
wanted his dinner ready by 10 O'Clock.

an the poor and he went out laughing
at the good joke he thought he had made.
"Well, II O'Clock came, but no jan
sen. One O'Clock, and still no Jansen This
was most remarkable, as he had never been
known to be minute behind time to his
dinner. But his good wife kept his dinner
hot, and suppressed her own and her chill
dren's cravings for its saw ry viands Two
O'Clock, and still no Jansen.
Mother, said young Peter Jacobs, a lad
of 10, don't let's wait no longer. Dads

MEN WHO WORK HARD.


Dissipation of Delusion Regarding the
Railway Mail Service.
Did you ever notice the United States
Mail wagon en- route to the postoffice
from the Northern Pacific train from the
west. If 80 you have doubtless observed
a railway postal clerk sitting jauntily
beside the driver and have perhaps en-
Wed him for his easy work, his opportu-
nifty to see the country and his 81 900
year salary. II SO, don't be envious
again. No ten men in st. Paul work az
hard or as many hours or begin to know
as they do what it is to be thoroughly
exhausted and worn out" There are
Lounsberry and Tennis and Yost and
Brown, and they are all numbered among
the most efficient railway mail clerks in
the country, but no man who values his
health and his happiness and his free
dom will ever seek influence" to secure
their official scalps.
The man who would succeed them
must work six months for $500 and COM
NIT to memory every postoffice in Min
nesota, Dakota, Montana, Iowa, Wiscon-
sin, Wyoming and portions Of other
territories and states--thousand In num-
Der. New offices are constantly being
added, old ones are being discontinued,
new time tables go into effect and the
lesson is never learned II you think
you work hard let me tell you Of the
work that the above named men do.
After studying night and day for six
months to pass an examination they are
ready to take run. If they go west
Monday they must go to the postofflce
as early as noon and register and receipt
for registered letters and pouches. They
then go to their postal car on the side
track and work four long hours piling in
consecutive order tons and tons Of heavy
letter and paper mail. About o'clock
the train starts west and from the mo-
ment it leaves the Union depot until it
arrives In Bismarck, Oak, twenty-four
and half hours after the work Is COM
menced in the car, the clerk Is on his
feet working with might and main.
There Is not moment to sit down,
sleep or eat, except hasty cold lunch
from dinner pail. Mail must be put off
and taken on at every station night and
day, even where the train does not stop.
The distribution of the mail tires the
mind. The swaying and iolting of the
car tires the legs. The lifting of the
sacks containing tons Of paper Ell nnb-
lie documents tires eve-.y muscle n the
body. The WICK cannot be neglected.
Sick O. wen, dead or alive, the work
must be pushed, as certain amount is
absolutely required to be performed.
Every error is checked and sent to de-
partment headquarters at Washington.
Valuable packages must be receipted for
and kept under lock and key. Even
when Bismarck is reached the work Is
not complete until the mail Is delivered
TO Postmaster Slattery, and the regis
tered packages are checked of and re-
ceipted for. After twenty-seven hours
of continuous work there are twenty
four hours for rest, and then the same
hard work must be repeated on the re-
turn trip. Whenever you see Northern
Pacific postal clerk ON a mail wagon. il
you have an endorsement for presenta-
ton to Postmaster General Villas use il
to kindle fire with. If you do you will
have future cause to be thankful.

had got used to taking everything as it
came, and always expected the worst-the
Old Settler and the Squire occupied their
favorite places in front of the fireplace.
and the hunters and woodsmen grouped
here and there in their vicinity expected to
hear the two old GROWERS at their very
worst.

NEW EVERY MORNING.

Every day is q fresh beginning,
Every morn is a world made new;
You who are weary of sorrow and SHINING,
Here is a beautiful hope for you;
A hope for me and hope for you
All the past things are past and over
The tasks are done and the tears are shed;
Yesterdays errors let yesterday cover;
Yesterdays wounds which smarted and bled
Are healed with the healing which night has
shed.
Yesterday now is part Of forever,
Bound up in a sheaf which God holds tight
With glad days and sad days and bad days which
never
Shall visit us more with their bloom and their
blight,
Their fullness of sunshine or sorrowful night
Let them go since we cannot relieve them,
Cannot undo and cannot atone;
God in his mercy receive, forgive them,
Only the new days are our own;
To-day is ours and to-day alone.
Here are the skies all FURNISHED brightly,
Here is the spent earth all reborn,
Here are the tired limbs sprngng lightly
To face the sun and to share with the morn
In the chrism of dew and the cool of dawn.
Every day is fresh beginning;
Listen, my soul, to the glad refrain,
And spite of old sorrow and older shining,
And puzzles forecasted and possible pain,
Take heart with the day, and begin again.
